NEUTRAL ADJUSTMENT
If the tractor “creeps” while the ground speed control
levers are locked in NEUTRAL, then it may be neces-
sary to adjust the control linkage.
NOTE: Perform this adjustment on a hard, level surface
such as a concrete floor.
1. Disengage the PTO, engage the parking brake and
turn off the engine.
2. Loosen the jam nut (B, Figure 37) and turn the
adjustment linkage (A) to adjust. If the machine
creeps forward, turn the linkage CLOCKWISE (while
standing at the rear of the machine, facing forward),
if the machine creeps backward, turn the linkage
COUNTER-CLOCKWISE.
3. Lock the jam nut (B) when neutral is achieved.
NOTE: This adjustment should not be performed while
the machine is running. It may take several attempts to
achieved neutral, depending upon how much the
machine creeps.
WARNING
Before checking mower, shut off PTO and engine.
Allow all moving parts to stop. Remove ignition
key, then disconnect the spark plug wire and
fasten it away from the spark plug.
